Hello amitchandak :

 

These articles not points to a valid solution.  They doesn't work. The new file can't not be displayed by excel. I am looking for a valid action. If anybody knows please let us know. Thank you.

    This is hit and miss, only works if xls has a single tab, you use a Create file action and on the file name you put:

     

    replace(item()?['name'],'.xls','.xlsx')
     
    on file content you put:
     
     base64ToBinary(item()?['contentBytes'])
